She's arguably one of the most prominent TV commercial personalities in Maine. But Birdie Googins, also known as the Marden's Lady, has been shown the door.

After several years with Googins as the face of Marden's Surplus and Salvage, the Maine discount retailer decided to go in a different direction.

Googins will no longer appear in their commercials.

Even though she's off TV, Googins, who is played by actress and comedian Karmo Sanders, still tours the state with her one-woman standup show.

"People, I'm going to land on my feet. I mean, I'm from here, dear. We have been scraping our fingernails forever. I can land on my feet. We got an option, I think this is what people like about the Mardens lady; we got an option, we can either be having a really good time, or not. What's my choice? I'd really rather be having a really good time. So I hope somebody picks me up. I'd love to get picked up national, knock, knock," Sanders said.

Besides being a comedian, Sanders is also a playwright and grew up in Norway.
